Cause of genetic disease? Correct Answers a change in the
sequence or cellular content of DNA that ultimately deranges
gene expression, deletion of a group of genes or an abnormal
number of chromosomes

Compare monosomies and trisomes Correct Answers
monosomies cause more severe physical defects than do
trisomies, illustrating the principle that the loss of chromosome
material has more severe consequences than the duplication of
chromosome material.

How are cells specialized? Correct Answers through the
process of differentiation or maturation

How can deprivation of essential nutrients (proteins,
carbohydrates, lipids, and vitamins) lead to cell injury? Correct
Answers by altering cellular structure and function, particularly
of transport mechanisms, chromosomes, the nucleus, and DNA

How common are chromosome abnormalities? Correct Answers
1 in 150 live births, leading cause of mental retardation and
miscarriage

How do cells communicate? Correct Answers (1) they form
protein channels (gap junctions); (2) they display receptors that
affect intracellular processes or other cells in direct physical
contact; and (3) they use receptor proteins inside the target cell.

,How does DNA replicate? Correct Answers DNA molecule
unwinds and each strand is a template for complementary base
pairing; each daughter helix contains an intact strand from the
parent helix and a newly synthesized strand therefore DNA
replication is semiconservative

What are free radicals? Correct Answers unstable oxygen-
containing molecules that can damage the cells of the body and
possibly contribute to the increased risk of chronic diseases

What are haploid gametes? Correct Answers sperm and egg
cells

What are lysosomes and what do they do? Correct Answers
saclike structures that originate from the Golgi complex and
contain digestive enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for
digesting most cellular substances to their basic form, such as
amino acids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates

What are mitochondria responsible for? Correct Answers .
Mitochondria contain the metabolic machinery necessary for
cellular energy metabolism (Makes ATP).

What are molecular biologic phenotypes? Correct Answers can
be detected only with a laboratory test

What are multifactorial traits? Correct Answers traits that
depend on multiple genes combined with environmental
influences
